Exactly what I first thought when I read it. While upper class men have it the best, lower class men seem to have it the worst. This was entirely ignored by the author which is ridiculous. She is trying to hammer the point about bias towards women while entirely ignoring the bias towards lower class men found by her own survey.
- SubiculumCode 10y agoI'm not sure the difference is big enough to be statistically reliable in this sample.
- GavinMcG 10y agoNo, her research did a more in depth exploration of the difference between the higher class groups. It's legitimate to ask why that difference was studied while the other one wasn't, but it's not legitimate to ask for speculation about the lower class difference when it wasn't specifically studied.

- FT_intern 10y agoIf she was attempting to use gender as an independent variable, she should have. The conclusions and research are very incomplete otherwise. It looks like she is just slicing up the data to get the results she wants.
- GavinMcG 10y agoThat's the whole point! The first study had both dimensions; the second one focused just on high-class to eliminate that variable.
